Comparison of Various Phenotypic Methods in Detection of Carbapenemases and Metallo-Beta-Lactamases (MBL) in Carbapenem Resistant Clinlical Isolates of Acinetobacter Species at A Tertiary Care Centre

Comparison of Various Phenotypic Methods in Detection of Carbapenemases and Metallo-Beta-Lactamases (MBL) in Carbapenem Resistant Clinlical Isolates of Acinetobacter Species at A Tertiary Care Centre

Background & Aims:  carbapenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) have been reported worldwide over the last decade. Detection of the carbapenemases is crucial to determine the severity of the problem. The aim of our study was to detect Carbapenemase and MBL producing st...
